Definitions

  • This invention relates to high strength nonwoven fabrics containing wood pulp, and to methods of their preparation.
  • the present invention relates to a unique apertured or nonapertured composite fabric comprising a relatively high proportion of wood pulp fibers intimately entangled with staple fibers and with a web of continuous filament fibers.
  • a spunlaced fabric suitable for disposable medical applications is produced by hydraulically entangling wood pulp and staple fibers with a continuous filament base web producing a nonapertured high strength fabric, and treating the fabric with a fluorocarbon water repellant.
  • Nonwoven fibrous webs comprising mixtures of wood pulp and synthetic fibers have high moisture absorption capabilities and may be inexpensively produced by conventional papermaking procedures. However, such products also tend to have relatively low wet strength properties and lack sufficient strength for many applications, for example, for use as household cloths, food service wipes and industrial machinery wipes.
  • the strength of such products may be improved by including a bonding agent in the fiber furnish or by application of an adhesive binder to the formed web. When the strength characteristics of the web are improved by use of an adhesive binder, such as a synthetic resin latex, the liquid absorption capability of the web is correspondingly decreased.
  • a high strength nonwoven absorbent fabr ic may be produced which comprises a web of continuous filament fibers and a soft, absorbent surface of wood pulp fibers mixed with staple length textile fibers intimately entangled with the continuous filament fibers.
  • a spunbonded web is formed in known manner and combined with an unbonded or lightly bonded air laid or water laid web of pulp and textile fibes by hydraulic entanglement.
  • a water-laid web made up of 80 to 90 weight percent wood pulp fibers and 10 to 20 weight percent short, staple length polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers hydroentangled with a spunbonded web of continuous filament nylon produces a strong nonwoven fabric having excellent water absorption qualities.
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • a wet laid web of wood pulp fibers and PET staple fibers is spunlaced with spunbonded polypropylene forming an absorbent oleophilic fabric useful in wiping oil and water based spills.
  • Staple fibers may range in length from three eighths inch to two inches and may include natural fibers, e.g., cotton, wool and synthetic fibers, including nylon, polyester, and the like. Fiber denier is usually about 1.2 to 2.0 denier per filament.
  • the nonwoven fabrics of this invention containing a substantial proportion of wood pulp are strong when wet and highly absorbent, and do not require stabilization with a latex adhesive.
  • the continuous filament base web may be produced by known methods from any of various synthetic resins including polyolefins, nylons, polyesters, and the like.
  • a continuous filament base web and a separately formed fibrous layer or web composed of a mixture of wood pulp fibers and textile fibers are spunlaced into one another to provide a nonwoven fabric.
  • the fibrous layer may be formed by any conventional web manufacturing process.
  • the web may be produced by a wet-laying process, or by air laying, or by other techniques utilized in the paper and nonwovens industries.
  • the continuous filament web and the fibrous web are separately formed and brought together as separate layers or plies and then subjected to hydraulic entanglement to produce a single composite spunlaced fabric.
  • a preferred method and apparatus for hydraulically entangling the fibers is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,494,821, incorporated herein by reference.
  • the fibrous layer is produced by a classical, wet-laid papermaking method using any one of various, commonly practiced dispersant techniques to disperse a uniform furnish of wood pulp fibers and staple fibers onto a foraminous screen of a conventional papermaking machine.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,081,319 to Conway and U.S. Pat. No. 4,200,488 to Brandon et al. disclose wet-laying methods which may be used to produce a uniform web of wood pulp and staple fibers.
  • a preferred method of dispersing a mixture of staple fibers and wood pulp is disclosed in commonly assigned copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/035,059 filed Apr. 6, 1987.
  • wood pulps may be incorporated into the finished fabric by hydroentanglement as disclosed herein, those pulps which are characterized by long, flexible fibers of a low coarseness index are preferred. Wood fibers with an average fiber length of three to five millimeters are especially suited for use in the spunlaced fabrics. Western red cedar, redwood and northern softwood kraft pulps, for example, are among the more desireable wood pulps useful in the nonwoven spunlaced fabrics.
  • Staple fiber length is an important factor affecting the abrasion resistance of the resulting fabric. Staple fibers which are either too short or too long do not entangle well with the continuous filament fibers of the base web. Staple fiber lengths in the range of from about three eighths inch to about one inch are suitable for use in the process of this invention. Staple fiber lengths in the range of from about one half inch to three quarters inch are preferred. The diameter of the fibers should be not greater than three denier for best results. Synthetic fibers of one and one half denier or less are preferred.
  • the wood pulp fiber content of the reinforced nonwoven web in accordance with the present invention may be in the range of from about 40 weight percent to about 90 weight percent. For most applications, a wood pulp content in the range from about 55 weight percent to 75 weight percent is preferred. The higher levels of wood pulp provide increased absorbency to the product usually with some loss of abrasion resistance.
  • the continuous filament base web preferably has a basis weight not greater than about 0.55 ounce per square yard.
  • the basis weight of the base web is in the range of 0.15 to 0.8 ounce per square yard.
  • the polymers from which the continuous filaments are made can vary widely and can include any polymer or polymer blend capable of being melt spun. Among the acceptable polymers are polyethylene, polypropylene polyester and nylon. Bonding of the continuous filament web is essential when produced in a separate step, in which case the bonding area should not exceed about fifteen percent of the total area of the web for best results. Bonding in the range of six to ten percent area bonded is preferred.
  • the entangling treatment can be carried out under conventional conditions described in the prior art, for example, by the hydroentanglement process disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,485,706 to F. J. Evans or 3,560,326 to Bunting Jr., et al., incorporated herein by reference.
  • the product fabric may be patterned by carrying out the hydroentanglement operation on a patterned screen or foraminous support.
  • Nonpatterned products also may be produced by supporting the layer or layers of fibrous material on a smooth supporting sur face during the hydroentanglement treatment as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,493,462 to Bunting, Jr. et al.
  • the basis weight of the finished fabric may range from about 0.8 ounce per square yard to about four ounces per square yard.
  • the lower limit generally defines the minimum weight at which acceptable web strength (greater than one pound per inch strip tensile) can be attained.
  • the upper limit generally defines the weight above which the water jets are not effective to produce a uniformly entangled web.
  • the continuous filament web may be supplied from a suitable source in rolls, unwound from a roll, layered with one or more webs of wood pulp and textile fibers, and hydroentangled. Alternatively, one or both webs may be produced on-site and fed directly from the web former to the hydroentangling apparatus without the need for drying or bonding of webs prior to entanglement.
  • One or more separately formed webs containing the staple length textile fibers and wood pulp fibers is laminated with the continuous filament web on a foraminous screen or belt, preferably made up of synthetic continuous filaments woven into a screen. The combined webs are transported on the screen under several water jet manifolds of the type described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,485,706.
  • the water jets entangle the discrete staple fibers and wood fibers present in the nonelastic web with the continuous filaments producing an initmately blended composite fabric. After drying, the resulting fabric is soft and is suitable for use in disposable personal care or health care applications, or as a durable, multiple use fabric.
  • Food service and utility wipes made up of continuous filaments spunlaced with staple fibers and wood pulp are strong, absorbent and generally superior in service than similar products of latex bonded hydroentangled synthetic fibers.
  • Colored fabrics may be made up from dyed wood pulp, dyed or pigmented textile staple fibers and pigmented continuous filaments, particularly those of polypropylene.
  • Fluorochemically finished fabrics made up of continuous filaments spunlaced with staple fibers and wood pulp fibers are strong, water repellent, soft, pliable, clothlike in appearance and feel and are suitable for us in health care applications such a sterilization wrap, and operating room gowns and drapes. Additionally this fluorochemically treated fabric can be sterilized by currently known and commercially available sterilization processes, e.g., gamma irradiation, ethylene oxide gas, steam, and electron beam methods of sterilization.
  • thermoplastic polymer pellets are placed in the feed hopper 5 of a screw extruder 6, where they are heated to a temperature sufficient to melt the polymer.
  • the molten polymer is forced by the screw through conduit 7 into a spinning block 8.
  • the elevated temperature of the polymer is maintained in spin block 8 by electric heaters (not illustrated).
  • Polymer is extruded from the spin block 8 through a plurality of small diameter capillaries, for example capillaries having a diameter of about 0.015 inch, at a density of 30 capillaries per inch, and exit from the spinning block as filaments of molten polymer 10.
  • the filaments 10 are deposited onto a foraminous endless belt 12. Vacuum boxes 13 assist in the retention of fibers on the belt.
  • the fibers form a coherent web 14 which is removed from the belt by a pair of pinch rolls 15 and 16. Bonding elements (not illustrated) may be included, but are not necessarily required, in rolls 15 and 16 to provide the desired extent of bonding of the continuous filaments.
  • the continuous filament web from consolidation rolls 15 and 16 is fed to rolls 17 and 18 where it is covered by a preformed web 19 comprising staple fibers and wood pulp fibers drawn from supply roll 20 over feed roll 21.
  • a second preformed web 22 comprising staple fibers and wood pulp fibers is drawn from supply roll 23 over roll 18 onto belt 26.
  • the layers of preformed webs, i.e., a continuous filament web 14 and the substantially nonelastic webs 19 and 22, are brought together at rolls 17 and 18 and carried on a foraminous carrier belt 26 formed of a flexible material, such as a woven polyester screen, through the hydroentanglement apparatus.
  • the carrier belt 26 is supported on rolls, one or more of which may be driven by means not illustrated.
  • a pair of rolls 27 and 28 remove the hydroentangled fabric from the belt 26 for drying and subsequent treatment.
  • orifice manifolds 29 are positioned above the belt 26 to discharge small diameter, high velocity jet streams of water onto the webs 22 and 14 as they move from rolls 20 and 21 to rolls 27 and 28.
  • Each of the manifolds 29, 29' and 29" is connected with a source of water under pressure through conduits 30, 30' and 30", and each is provided with one or more rows of 0.005 inch diameter apertures spaced on 0.025 inch centers (to provide 40 orifices per linear inch) along the lowermost surface of the manifolds.
  • the spacing between the orifice outlets of the manifolds and the web directly beneath each manifold is preferable in the range of from about one-quarter inch to about one-half inch.

  • a wet laid 41 lb./ream (1.98 oz./sq. yd.) web is prepared from a mixture of 60 weight percent long fiber northern softwood kraft pulp and 40 weight percent of 1.5 denier by three-quarter inch polyethylene terephthalate (PET) staple fibers.
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • Spunlaced fabrics were produced by the method of Example 1 using the same water laid web of 40 weight percent PET and 60 weight percent northern softwood kraft fibers hydroentangled with a continuous filament 0.175 ounce per square yard nylon web sold under the trade name Cerex PBNII by James River Corporation, and a 0.43 ounce per square yard spunbonded polypropylene web sold under the trade name Celestra I by James River Corporation.
  • the tensile strength reported in grams per inch of width is determined by repeated tests of one inch wide by five inch strips in an Instron Model 4201 tensile tester. Tear, reported in grams, is measured by an Elmendorf tear tester using single ply test strips. Caliper is measured on a four ply sample with a TMI Model 551 micrometer and is reported in mils. Loft, reported in mils, is determined with an Aimes 212.5 loft tester on a single ply of the specimen. Absorptive Capacity, reported in grams per square inch, is measured by the INDA wiping efficiency test IST 190.0-85 as is the Wipe Dry Time, reported in seconds.
  • Absorptive Rate reported in seconds, is the measure of the time required for one milliliter of water to complettely absorb into the fabric.
  • Fuzz measures the linting resistance of nonwoven fabrics, and is determined by rubbing a material sample with an abrasive sponge and measuring the amount of fibers collected after 20 cycles and it is reported in milligrams.
